Talking about player-specific. How goes the relationship of NFL draftees and their high school star rating?
How good is star rating as a predictor of being NFL caliber? How much is the college program / coaches? How much is the player?
Surely, there is a sports data junkie who has this info...

Percentage-wise, 5-star guys tend to be more likely to become pros than any other rating.

Opinion, beer drinking science or real science? Kidding.

Wall Street Journal put these stats out a couple of months ago by looking at Rivals high school star data from the 2004-2008 recruiting classes and it shows a correlation between where a recruit is ranked and how likely they are to drafted . A 5 star has a 46% chance of being drafted, a 4 star a 19% chance, and a 3 star only a 9% shot.
